// Definition
In some jurisdictions, sharing cannabis education materials is itself a criminal offense. In Japan, Karao was arrested and detained for 40 days not for possessing cannabis, but for publishing a blog translating cultivation and medicinal information into Japanese. Police demanded he shut down his blog and considered his educational content as promotion of illegal drug use.
// From the Episode
Bubbleman emphasized that Karao had 'not a gram of weed' — he was providing info only. The episode highlighted how many countries still criminalize even the sharing of cannabis knowledge, not just possession or cultivation.
